First the sensor's electrical signal is entered into a control device/signal treatment device. The signal is filtered with a bandpass filter, in order to remove superfluous information which does not belong to the frequency range around which information is required . The signal is evened out by way of filtering , averaging or by being replaced with one or several continuous function(s) with good likeness. Su bsequently, the signal is scaled , e.g . with the help of the correlation between pressure and volume at compression. Subsequently, (a) suitable part(s) of the signal is/are transformed to the pressure domain.

  • the pressure curve thus created is used to calculate different values at engine control , e.g . Start of Combustion, SOC, different crank angles at a certain amount of burned fuel , for example 10%, 50% and 90% (CA10, CA50, CA90), End of Combustion, EOC, Indicated Mean Effective Pressure; I M EP and maximum pressure Pmax.
